1324 November 24, 2025 To Maryland For Thanksgiving

We woke up at 4:30 this morning.  We wanted to avoid Atlanta traffic!  We were on the road at 5am.  It was dark.  Tim’s strategy worked.  We got onto 285 and then 85N and we drove away from the city.  As we went, we could see the traffic building as people made their way to work.

Tim drove all day.  We stopped often at rest areas for stretching breaks.  We arrived at Henderson, NC in early afternoon.  We put 75 gallons of diesel in the RV and then stopped at Skipper Forsyth’s Barbecue to buy dinner for tonight and tomorrow.  Tim was born in Henderson and coming here is a homecoming of sorts.  When we pass through, we like to camp at Satterwhite Point on Kerr Lake.

We both needed to rest but we also enjoyed some quiet time; sitting in the sunshine by the beautiful water.

We walked down to the boat ramp and then watched the sunset…at 5pm!  It quickly got dark and chilly.

We ate our BBQ inside.  I’m thinking an early bedtime tonight.  We are more than hallway home and hope to get to Kyle and Allison’s tomorrow afternoon.  We can’t wait for some toddler cuddles and fun!
